Laura Pauli Marketing Director

Laura runs the Tioga Venture West office located in the heart of Silicon Valley. Laura launched her professional career at Arthur Andersen where she audited companies in a variety of industries including hi-tech, venture capital, utilities, sports teams, hospitality and packaged foods. She then traded her accounting hat for a marketing hat first at NBC-TV, then at Oracle where she was in the first internet division. Laura jumped on the dot com bandwagon but after four years of dot bombs, she returned to the more stable work of enterprise software applications at Siebel Systems. At Siebel, Laura first managed all CEO events and speeches then moved into the web marketing division managing all global web marketing initiatives.

In 2003, Laura took a break from the frenetic Silicon Valley pace to attend the French Culinary Institute. She then moved to France to cook at some of the best restaurants, patisseries, and events around the country. Laura returned to technology in early 2005 providing marketing consulting expertise to hi-tech companies including Oracle, SAP, Pertinence, Datamat and Tioga Venture.
